A mother and son have been arrested and trespassed from a Dunedin bar following a series of abusive tirades on Sunday morning. Snr Sgt Bond said a police unit was driving past at the time and stopped to speak to the family. "The 24-year-old didn’t leave the area, and approximately 30 minutes later, he ran back towards the bar, diving over the fence and tackling a bar staff member to the ground. Snr Sgt Bond said the man’s mother (54) was unhappy about her son being arrested and slapped a bar staff member with an open hand. Both were arrested and trespassed from the bar, he said.
